no finer occupation than the study of music in any form and the fact that the students of the high school are obliged to meet certain requirements in order to become members of the band is worthy of attention we predict that the students who availed themselves of the opportunity to study with mr kennard during the past year will go far ahead of those who lacked the ambition to make the necessary sacrifices in order to attain membership in the local band while on the subject of youth be sure to read the outlines for spring and summer activities of the beehive bee hive girls and of the scout
